scriptParsingError

Type​

message

Summary​

Sent to an object when its script cannot be compiled.

Syntax​

scriptParsingError <pErrorContents>

Description​

Handle the scriptParsingError message to prevent the standard error window from appearing, when you want to handle the error in a custom handler.

The scriptParsingError message is sent when a compile error occurs. If the script contains an execution error, the errorDialog message is sent instead when the handler containing the error attempts to run.

A list of possible compile errors is contained in the "cScriptErrors" property of the first card of the stack "revErrorDisplay". You can view the list with the following statement:

    answer the cScriptErrors of card 1 of stack \"revErrorDisplay\"
note

The exact format of the errorContents may change from release to release.
